-------------------------

I am looking for information about my father's family. His name was JOSEPH
JOHN FARRELL, his parents were RICHARD H. FARRELL and NELLIE (SHERIDAN)
FARRELL. My father had 2 brothers RICHARD S. FARRELL and JOHN JOSEPH FARRELL.
He also had 2 sisters, MARGARET FARRELL and HELEN (DENNING) FARRELL. As
the family secret goes...my father was adopted by RICHARD AND NELLIE. On
his mothers "death bed" she asked JOSEPHINE (married to RICHARD S.) To
never tell my dad who his real parents were. My father (JOSEPH JOHN FARRELL)
was born 10-10-13 in Cook, Co. Illinois. He died on 8-21-71 never knowing
the truth about his birth. I never knew his "parents" or the sisters. Does
anyone know my Farrell's from Joliet, Illinois????????
Thank-you,
Jackie Ehman
